Intended Use

The Asthma Monitor AM3 / AM3 BT from Cardinal Health is an electronic measurement device to monitor the lung function (determination of the respiratory flows and volume) with high reproducibility wherever and whenever is a need of. The AM3 / AM3 BT measures the flow during expiration serving for the calculation of further parameters as FEV1.

The AM3 / AM3 BT is used to monitor the respiratory status of human beings in the areas asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and in areas like occupational medicine, clinical trials and disease management.

The patient is informed of the results by numeric values for selected parameters (e.g. PEF, FEV1). Furthermore a visual control unit, displayed as a kind of traffic lights, allows an immediate indication of the measurement based on criteria defined by the patient's physician.

The device saves the results of a measurement (always with date and time) automatically in an internal database. The memory capacity is designed to store up to 400 measurements. In addition, a questionnaire functionality can be called up by the use of a software package (AMOS) to record e.g. the "Quality of Life" status. When enabled, the AM3 / AM3 BT can be programmed with a couple of questions, where the patient can select then from a couple of different answers. This information is also stored in the internal database and can be transmitted for evaluation to a standard PC using the software package AMOS.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the Asthma Monitor AM3 / AM3 BT. This submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, particularly regarding the addition of Bluetooth data transmission. It is not an effectiveness study as typically performed for novel algorithms or diagnostic devices.

Therefore, many of the requested categories for a study proving device performance, especially those related to clinical accuracy, ground truth, and expert evaluation, are not applicable in this context. The document describes engineering and regulatory compliance testing rather than clinical performance studies.

Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted or that is not applicable based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document provides performance specifications and indicates that safety and EMC testing was conducted for the modified device, but it doesn't present a table of acceptance criteria and reported device clinical performance in the way this question typically implies for diagnostic algorithms.

EMC TestingCompliance with EN 60601-1-2Performed according EN 60601-1-2
Software Dev.Compliance with IEC 601-1-4 StandardDeveloped according to IEC 601-1-4 Standard

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Not applicable. This submission focuses on engineering modifications (adding Bluetooth) and demonstrating equivalence to existing devices, not on a clinical performance study with a "test set" of patient data for algorithm evaluation in the way the question implies. The testing done was likely functional and safety testing of the device hardware and software.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. No ground truth establishment by medical experts for a test set is described or required for this type of 510(k) submission.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No test set requiring expert adjudication is relevant to this submission.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm-focused submission. It's for a diagnostic spirometer with an added data transmission method (Bluetooth).

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This device is a measurement device (spirometer), not a standalone algorithm/AI without human input. Its function is to provide quantifiable measurements (PEF, FEV1) to the patient and physician.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of clinical accuracy or diagnostic performance, is not discussed as this submission focuses on device equivalence and safety for a new data transmission method. The "truth" for the device's measurements would be established through mechanical calibration and validation against known standards, not by expert consensus on clinical cases.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. No training set is mentioned or relevant to this submission.


Summary of the Study Discussed in the Document:

The "study" described in the 510(k) summary is primarily engineering and regulatory compliance testing to support a Special 510(k) submission for a device modification (adding Bluetooth data transmission).

The key elements are:

  • Objective: To demonstrate substantial equivalence of the Asthma Monitor AM3 with Bluetooth (AM3 BT) to its predicate device (Asthma Monitor AM3 K980876/A2) and a similar predicate with Bluetooth (Asthma Monitor AM1+ / AM1+ BT K090486), specifically for the added Bluetooth functionality.
  • Methodology:
    • Comparison: A direct comparison table shows the characteristics of the new AM3 BT against the original AM3 and the AM1+ BT. The critical point is that the Bluetooth module in the AM3 BT is identical to the one used in the already cleared AM1+ BT.
    • Development Standards: The Bluetooth data transmission was developed in accordance with Cardinal Health's standard operating procedures (Design Control).
    • Risk Analysis: A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was performed to assess the impact of the added Bluetooth.
    • Safety Testing: Procedures were followed to demonstrate satisfaction of all safety requirements and mitigation of identified hazards.
    • EMC Testing: Performed according to EN 60601-1-2.
    • Software Development: Followed IEC 601-1-4 Standard.
  • Conclusion: Based on these engineering and regulatory compliance measures, the submitter concluded that the Asthma Monitor AM3 with the "Bluetooth" data transmission module is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices and is safe and effective for its intended use, performing at least as well as the predicate devices.
